Jakob Bro (Guitar), Thomas Morgan (Double Bass) and Jon Christensen (Drums).
Streaming on NAS… moving on to Jakob Bro’s ‘Gefion’ album to keep the mellow flow of day moving along and this trio is sounding sublime! Love all of Jakob’s work, one sweet album…
The Beautiful South - Solid Bronze - WAV CD rip
Finishing off with this “great hits” compilation, I love the Beautiful South. Superb songs, witty insightful lyrics and catchy tunes with great hooks, so well played and sung, pop of the highest level. For me Paul Heaton is one of the great songwriters, from his work with the Housemartins, the Beautiful South and Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbott he’s given us an oeuvre of superbly written songs.
Check out all of Jakob’s albums, his ECM albums and previous releases including ‘Ballarderring,’ ‘Time’ & ‘December Song.’ On those three albums he is playing with Bill Frisell and the two guitarists are simply fantastic together. You can find them on TIDAL and other streaming services.
Anouar Brahem (Oud), Klaus Gesing (Bass Clarinet), Björn Meyer (Bass) and Khaled Yassine (Darbouka, Bendir).
Streaming on NAS… Taking Anouar and this marvelous quartet out for a spin and the music is magnificent! Love Anouar’s music, soothing and mesmerizing, and perfect for a damp and cold day outdoors but his music just warms up the room indoors! One fine and sweet album…
I beat you by two hours, playing the same album earlier. I much prefer Brahem’s older performances with smaller ensembles than his recent orchestrations.
…I believe I first took out Anouar as well as Jakob Bro within the past few years after you mentioned them on this thread. That is why this is my favorite thread on the forum, being introduced to different artists that I may not have run across otherwise, so many thanks to you and the other members who contribute to this thread!
